Reader's Name:
Writers Name:
1) Review the assignment requirements. Read the essay. In your opinion, does the writer answer the essay assignment in this piece? Explain. the writer tries to analyse the poem she chose, so yes.
2) Write the thesis statement here: While I do not disregard the other elements of poetry that are quite obviously evident in this poem, I will attempt to analyze “She Walks in Beauty” by stanza using the element of imagery.
3) Does the thesis attempt to prove a specific idea, or is it too general? too general
4) What specific evidence does the writer provide to support the thesis? The writer usese quotes from the poem to support her ideas. (you should reference your quotes)
5) Does the writer explicitly show how this evidence supports his/her view? Are connections made for the reader? Yes, the write has quotes, and then she analyses them.
6) Does each paragraph connect with the thesis? Each paragraph talks about image.
7) Is there additional evidence which the writer has missed? No I don't think so.
8) Does the conclusion sum up the writer's point? The conclusion is kind of confusing. The writer asks questions instead of concluding her point.
9) Give the writer at least one suggestion for improving this paper. Don't reference yourself in your essay. Take out all of your "I", "to me".
You should also not ask questions in your conclusion.
